Mainly a reissue of the sheets of the 1814 edition (text of "Part first" through p. 128; "Part second" from p. 145 through p. 240) Certain preliminary matter, the "Conclusion" and the appendix of the earlier edition are omitted. The dedication is changed and a new preface added. Part of the material on the Pennsylvania Hospital is replaced by the new section (p. 130-133) on "military and flying hospitals." The introduction (p. [135]-144) to the 2d part, on the medical department of the Navy, is reprinted with alterations. Slip cancels and an excision take care of the changes in the table of contents.
